LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) Texas Tech defensive end Pete Robertson, the Big 12 sack leader last season, has been suspended for the game against Sam Houston State.

A Texas Tech official on Saturday was mum on the reason the senior from Longview would not play.

Robertson was on the field in a jersey but without pads during pregame warmups.

The Red Raiders, looking for an improved defense this season behind new coordinator David Gibbs, will surely miss his experience against the Bearkats.
